Out of upheaval, progress

Betty Spiers Sands

When a significant earthquake happened in our area, all of us without shelter welcomed the loving help offered by the Red Cross and local hotels. The situation was especially humbling for me because my job had been managing a forty-two-apartment complex. It was gone, along with my lodgings and employment.

Accepting God as the giver of all good, I had trusted His direction in the past when seeking a home or workplace. My faith was sorely tested this time, however, because no one would accept me as a tenant without employment or as an employee without a home. But I knew my loving, Almighty God could never allow His offspring, me or anyone else, to be caught in a faulty system or to fall through the cracks. To accept God as Love and man as His image and likeness leads us to know that all are included in His bountiful provision.
